Ask HN: Do you offer a lower price for your product in developing countries?
What effect does it have on your revenue? Especially if you are a Small Company/Indie.

I offer Purchasing Power discount for my technical ebook if the book landing site detect visitors are from developing countries.
It does increase revenue in the sense that I managed to earn money (although lesser) from these customers that I would have never earned otherwise.

We don't, but we have a freemium model. So one option for users wherever they are is to use the free version. Paid versions have support and extra features.
We do have a software product, so the marginal cost is close to zero.

Last month I decided to buy RunJS license. The price was a bit too high for me, so I contacted them asking if they offer any discounts for users from developing countries. They just gave me a promo code for 20% off without asking any questions.
It make sense for digital (not physical) products and theoretically helps to initially capture more markets.
No because the level of support that we need to provide is the same regardless of country. We sometimes can offer discounts of course.
